Cabanon
Description
Cabanon is a French restaurant run by actual French people (Julien and Gillou, specifically) sitting on a quieter stretch of riverfront street. The menu leans into the kind of comfort food that makes Europeans cry with homesickness: boeuf bourguignon, crêpes, gravlax, foie gras, and a cordon bleu stuffed with raclette cheese that gets mentioned in review after review like a recurring dream.
The kitchen works almost entirely with local Vietnamese ingredients, which is worth knowing because it explains why the foie gras and camembert taste better than they have any right to at this latitude. Portions are large. The owners are hands-on and apparently speak enough languages to make most of Europe feel at home (Spanish included, which caught a few people off guard in a good way).
This is not the place you come to eat Vietnamese food. It is the place you come on week two of a long trip when you need cheese and someone to talk to in your own language.
Highlights
- Owners and staff are warm, attentive, and multilingual (French, Spanish confirmed)
- Portions are generous by any standard
- Riverside location on a street that isn't overwhelmed with tourist traffic
- Reviews are almost entirely from French-speaking visitors, so the experience may lean toward that crowd
